the ringleader on this occasion is senator john mccain. the president's opponent four years ago had plenty of time to push the idea of a scandal during a news conference wednesday, and then again during a speech from the senate floor just after the president had addressed the issue himself. yet that forced mr. mccain and other republicans to skip a closed door classified briefing on the attacks where presumably most of his questions would have been answered. the reason? well, there are no cameras in closed door meetings. for more we head to washington and congressman charles rangel of new york. good afternoon. >> hi, martin, good to be back with you. >> republican senator susan collins chided mr. mccain for his absence at wednesday's meeting. she said his request for a new committee to investigate benghazi is, and i'm quoting, not necessary. what is your assessment of mr. mccain's attacks on the president? >> i am surprised, and i'm disappointed. i think that senator mccain has earned the respect of this great country in being able to tell

john, can you talk about that? this is not just republicans having a deal with a fraction coalition. it may be democrats, too. >> that's right. democrats have taken different positions on where they would draw the line, if they would loo draw the line at all. a bunch of moderate democratic senators who may not want to draw that at $250 think. >> john, i'm sorry. we're having an audio problem that i think they're going to fix. i'm going to amy. amy, i have the same question for you. let's see if the mike will work. >> okay. well, i think that the democrats do have a problem. senator reid needs 60 votes to extend the middle tax -- the middle income tax rates. the democrats are disputing on entitlements. i think they have a problem there. it's not, well, president obama has the leverage. there is some dispute about what democrats do really want. >> amie, i am looking at this third way which is kind of a moderate democratic group. they did a poll among voters who supported president obama about entitlement reform. they
